      La "Reeducación Postural Global" (RPG) es un concepto elaborado y promovido desde hace más de treinta años por Philippe Souchard, quien en esta obra propone un manual completo y exhaustivo de su método, tanto desde el punto de vista de sus fundamentos como de su puesta en práctica. Este manual es el resultado de treinta años de evolución del método RPG. El autor hace un repaso de la fisiología y de la fisiopatología de la función muscular estática, y añade avances en biomecánica, fruto de su observación y estudio. El trabajo de síntesis reunido en este libro permite identificar claramente la responsabilidad de la retracción muscular en las patologías músculo-esqueléticas... ya sean morfológicas o lesiónales, y propone un tratamiento original de las disfunciones musculares. Tras una primera parte dedicada a los fundamentos fisiológicos de los músculos estáticos y los mecanismos del equilibrio, el autor expone la metodología propiamente dicha: los principios del tratamiento (alargamiento de los músculos, puesta en tensión) y las reglas de aplicación terapéutica. Al final de la obra, se exponen algunas secuencias de auto-postura preventiva, dirigidas a la propia educación del paciente. La obra está dirigida a fisioterapeutas, kinesioterapeutas y todos aquellos profesionales que aplican terapias manuales.

      Respiratory Medicine - General Practice: The Integrative Approach. The human respiratory system is complex and finely tuned. Fortunately, two factors are of enormous benefit to us. First, there is a large reserve of function, greater than many of us are ever going to call upon; and secondly, the respiratory system can tolerate quite a degree of insult before symptoms appear. The predominant symptoms of respiratory problems that present to GPs are breathlessness, cough, sputum, wheeze and chest pain. Diagnosis is the important first step in medical practice, and the classic method of adequate history, appropriate physical examination, thinking about the clinical problem and then considering special investigations will clarify most situations. The four diagnoses that are most prominent and/or important in general practice are: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer and infections.

      Esta obra aborda numerosas cuestiones relacionadas con la uveítis y sus complicaciones, así como de otros trastornos inflamatorios relacionados. Los autores identifican los procesos fisiopatológicos generales y específicos que afectan a la estructura y función de la úvea, el cristalino, las cavidades intraoculares, la retina y otros tejidos en la inflamación intraocular crónica y aguda. La selección de las técnicas de exploración adecuadas es necesaria para poder posteriormente seleccionar pruebas complementarias de interés, de ahí que se haga especial hincapié en este tema. El diagnóstico diferencial juega un papel importante en las inflamaciones oculares, y por ello esta obra proporciona las herramientas necesarias para que el oftalmólogo llegue a un diagnóstico preciso. En la obra se describen también los principios del tratamiento farmacológico y quirúrgico de las uveítis infecciosas y no infecciosas, así como de la inflamación intraocular asociada, incluidas las indicaciones de los fármacos inmunodepresores y las posibles complicaciones relacionadas con los mismos.
